    That means that the government is injecting itself on deciding what “extremist” is. I do not trust them to do that wisely. And even if I did trust them, it is immoral for the state to start categorizing and policing ideologies.

      Do you understand you’re arguing for violent groups instigating a race war?

      Like, even if you’re ok with white people doing it, you’re also saying ISIS, MS13, any fucking group can’t be labeled violent extremists…

      Some “ideologies” need to be fucking policed

        Ur missing the point violence should absolutly be policed. Words ideas ideology hell no let isis, ms13, the communists, the nazis, the vegans etc etc etc say what they want. They are all extremists by some definition let them discuss let them argue and the second someone does something violent lock em for the rest of their lives simple.

        What you are suggesting is the policing of ideology to prevent future crime their is an entire book about where that leads to said book simply calls this concept thought crime.

        Someone wants to start with yours, and they have more support than you know. Be careful what you wish for.

            Big difference between policing actions and policing thoughts. Declaring some thoughts as verboten and subject to punishment or liability is bad.

              It’s insane you’re being downvoted by people who would be the first ones silenced.

              You really think they’re going to use this for himophobes and racists instead of anyone calling for positive socia6 change?

              Did you not see any of history?
